Life is short... running makes it seem longer. -Baron Hansen

w/ the assistance of my loyal brother/trainer, i'm working toward my goal of running 80 miles by the end of february. i ran 14 miles in january. not the 40 i was hoping for. in my defense, i lost a week to being sick, but the rest i lost to weak will and cold weather (the 20th was the first day i ran). so, i have 5 weeks to run 66 miles. that's 13.2 miles per week, less than 2 miles a day if i run every day. if i make 90% of my goal, i get a present. (yeah!) if i don't, nathan gets a present. (boo!)

Good recommendation Nathan! And thanks for snapping the pics too!!
